Can anyone speak German?

[DanielJames]

I'm wanting to know what the instructions are… going to fit my nurburgring sticker and haven't a clue how you're supposed to transfer the sticker onto the car!

Cheers

I'm pretty sure it says she doesn't want to see you anymore as you are too fat.

Clean off dust and oil, peel off the transparent film from left to right and move into position, and stick on the car or whatever, rub the backing paper to stick it down, then peel that bit off.

German speak German mostly very well, why not ask one of them?

Have you ever heard of google translate?

Just type online translation into google, type it in & hey presto.

It's a sticker, how hard can it be!

1. The surface for the sticker should be free of dust and grease.

2. Stick the carrier film (transparent adhesive film) evenly onto the lettering from left to right. Place the lettering in position and fix it.

3. Remove the carrier paper from the lettering with the carrier film and rub the lettering evenly onto the surface with the flat of your hand.

4. Secure each letter by rubbing it down again and carefully remove the carrier film from the lettering. Done!

Or something along those lines, anyway - it's just a quick attempt. HTH.

Very. Google Translate is rubbish at the best of times, for German it's pretty unusable.

Thanks! It's on now

You had to use another bit of clear film to first stick the transfer to then apply to the car. Ridiculous

I agree completely, but it will be close enough to work out how to fit a sticker with a bit of common sense.

Reverse translation done, close enough for me apart from part 1.

1. Die Oberfläche des Aufklebers sollte frei von Staub und Fett.

2. Kleben Sie die Trägerfolie (transparente Folie) gleichmäßig auf die Beschriftung von links nach rechts. Legen Sie die Beschriftung in Position und zu beheben.

3. Entfernen Sie das Trägerpapier vom Schriftzug mit der Trägerfolie und reiben Sie die Beschriftung gleichmäßig auf der Oberfläche mit der flachen Hand.

4. Sichern Sie jeden Buchstaben durch Reiben wieder und entfernen Sie vorsichtig die Trägerfolie von der Beschriftung.

Yes, but that's English to German. German to English doesn't tend to be quite so straightforward - because German word order is so different, it produces some weird results. (And its vocabulary seems to be very limited in many instances.) My favourite thing about Google Translate is that it often leaves out "not" in sentences, which completely reverses the meaning. That's not the case here, I'm just saying!

Anyway. Just out of curiosity (and because I'm bored while I'm sitting here copying files from disk to disk), I input the first two sections of that text into GT.

"1 for the pasting should be free of dust and grease the surface.

2 Stick the transfer film (transparent tape) from left to right evenly on the lettering. Place the script in position and fix it."

The second one is okay, the first not so much.

Ah well, personally I wouldn't trust GT with German at all if I didn't speak the language myself. But I'll agree it would probably have sufficed for sticking a sticker on something.

I thought it said

1. Ring stickers are so 1990s

2. Stickers suck

3. Only apply sticker if you take it up the arse from other men.

4. I've also got one on the back of my car

[Mastodon2]

Your sticker is silver / red.

[Ozzie Osmond]

Surely the translation is simpler than that,

"Do not stick a picture of the Nurburgring on your car unless you are a total loser."

[DanielJames]

Urm thanks guys…

[DanielJames]

To the person who translated it all properly thank you, i keep getting an error when quoting your post

[budfox]

Don't mention the war.

Easy;

If it storms or snows, or the sun smiles on us,
The day burning hot, or the icy cold of night.
Dusty are our faces, but joyful are our minds,

Yes, our minds
They roll our tanks forward into the storm's wind. (x2)

With thundering engines, as fast as lightning,
Towards the enemy, sheltered in the tank,
Ahead of our comrades, in battle we stand alone,

Yes we alone,
That's how we thrust deep into the enemy ranks. (x2)

When before us a hostile tank appears,
Full throttle is given and we close with the enemy.
What does our life matter but for the Reich's army?

Yes, Reich's army.
To die for Germany is our highest honor. (x2)

With obstacles and tanks the foe blocks our path,
We laugh about it and don't drive upon them.
And even if his hand shakes morosely and furiously,

Yes, his hand,
We will search for ways that no one else has found. (x2)

And if we are abandoned by treacherous luck,
And if we don't return back home again,
If death's bullet finds us, and fate calls us away,

Yes, us away,
Then our tank shall become an honorable iron grave! (x2)

Thank me later OP.

Best to print this translation out and stick it to the rear window.
